Tasting - Fondo Antico Bianco

Fondo Antico Bianco

Variety: Inzolia (50%) and Grecanico (50%)
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95
Shop review: A 50-50 blend of Inzolia and Grecanico - two indigenous Sicilian grapes. Dry and light-bodied, with a bright crisp finish. Tropical aromas and flavors of orange citrus and peach. Unoaked. A great aperitif wine, or paired with appetizers or seafood dishes.
My review: Very oaky on the nose. Taste is more on the woodsy side and not the sweet more fruit-like wine I was expecting.
I did not have food with this tasting.
